relatively cool surface temperatures when under load ; upgradeable LGA 1151 CPU and MXM 3.0 GPU ; accessible internals without voiding warranty ; small footprint considering the hardware ; no major performance throttling issues ; USB Type-C w/...

core temperatures >90 C when under Prime95 stress on factory settings ; PWM on lower brightness settings; average display response times ; fans are always active; loud fan noise regardless of onscreen load ; lower contrast and narrower gamut on 4K...

The Tornado F5 should be commended for incorporating an accessible LGA 1151 socket and MXM 3.0 slot onto a 15-inch chassis that is smaller and even lighter than many popular and less powerful alternatives. From this perspective, the system is not...

Standard LGA 1151 and MXM 3.0 sockets ; excellent backlit keyboard and touchpad ; generally cool surface temperatures ; extreme CPU and GPU power ; USB Type-C w/ Thunderbolt 3 ; steady fan noise; no pulsing ; easy serviceability ; G-Sync standard

very warm CPU temperature when under extreme loads ; no full AdobeRGB or sRGB display options ; no 5 ms/120 Hz display options ; loud fan noise when gaming ; display lid could be stronger ; no individually-lit keys ; poor port placement ; thick and heavy

The Tornado F5 continues the Eurocom tradition of offering faster performance, more customization, and longer legs than the popular equivalents from big name manufacturers. There's no denying that its ability to run on standard desktop processors and...
